The gates of Hell shall not prevail

“And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.” - Matthew 16v18

There are times in our lives and ministries when it seems like we are fighting and unwinable battle. The world seems so big and powerful and we seem to small and insignificant. The church fights and struggles and Satan seems to be having a heyday with us. Looking at these things it would be easy to think that we are in a losing battle.

Yet we have this precious and amazing promise – the very gates of hell will not prevail against His church. The church is His body – it will withstand everything that Satan can throw up against it. Praise God that we have this supreme confidence. Let us march forward with confidence!
